My Yorkshire Terrier pup only weighs 50 grams!

Dear Reader,

Yesterday my Yorkshire terrier gave birth to a litter of 4 puppies. · of these are healthy and suckling from the mother, whereas one is smaller and has to be bottle fed with babies milk, as it cant feed itself. The mother hasn’t rejected it, so we feed it every 2 hours and then give it back to her to wash and look after.

This dog is obviously the runt of the litter and we are happy to hand rear it, if that’s what it takes, but I am concerned that it may be facially deformed.

I would be very happy to any readers who have experience with breeding dogs and can perhaps give an opinion, based on the picture I have provided.

Thank you!

Shame, I am looking for a Yorkie too

Hi Grazy, one of our poodles had a litter of 4, and the runt of her litter is now the only surviver, as the other larger pups were born with weaker immune systems and get kidney disease at the age of one, and unfortunalty have dies. We also have another poodle who was the runt of her litter and she is 12 and is going strong and heathy with no diformaties, they are like babies and will all develop at there own pace.

Congratulation
